Capital building of Ohio, Columbus	And the original Wendy's!
Ohio is full of interesting things. For example, in Dublin, there is a field of cement corn! And a Native American tribute of stone!
Not far away is the Longaberger Corporate Headquarters. The building is designed in the shape of a basket, and is visible from the intestate. (right) At the Longaberger Homestead, there is the worlds largest basket of apples!
Ohio has recently surpassed Pennsylvania with the largest Amish community. (right) In Mansfield, we met the executive director of the Mansfield art center, Paul Kemerling and he showed us around town. We ate lunch at the Walnut, where they serve fried pickles!	Mansfield, Ohio
